Juniper and Danny landed in clean superhero poses, ready for action. The area they found themselves in was a circular gladiator arena. The outer bounds were rivers of lava and the center was taken up by Unos’ mech.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuikCRQVZjb
It was a large stationary saucer with 8 legs stuck in the ground. Thanks to that, there was little room to maneuver. The heat wasn’t helping things either. Good thing there are only two of them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJblJOn1M
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5IGlZDPGh
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpd45SVRb9
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Bp1TC1Qx
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClo6U8kG0a
Unos smiles before answering.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4e1ierfqV
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqT10pK0YD
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2fkMrFAbp
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPRHUu663j
Danny remembers the Jimmy robot and how he said he was the prototype. He looks at June and wonders if she is the finished product.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWlArUhEPa
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55CegskRKW
Unos: “Magic is a very interesting concept. I thought if we could harness it, maybe it could give us an advantage against XJ9. So we lured the real you and captured her. Then I tasked Tres with making you. You would be our ticket to victory.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJHKBCmwl1
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhDniBhfWr
Unos: “Yes, Tres seemed determined to create a perfect robot replica first. I’ll admit, aside from what’s inside, you are truly perfect. If our plans weren’t ruined, I would have ordered him to wipe your memory so we could build more. The perfect army.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJsGRrbvF
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSOUIBi1zB
Danny: “June, wait!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xhgr9TWUk
Fist raised ready to end this joke, June wasn’t prepared for several turrets to pop out of the mech and fire. Before June was hit, Danny came in and flew her out of there. Floating high above the arena, June glared at Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtlNJRZmu
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JDjkdFL2h
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyT9AxxBxM
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnMBPFdkHt
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RX3ZL3ng
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dje00bXQm
Danny: “Whoa!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMh80sBJSZ
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gl3lDXrhY
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4VgqBiVS1
Juniper: “Ready.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfuAJgMp6O
Danny turned them intangible and charged through the blaster fire. When he was close, he threw June at one of the turrets. Prepared, June destroyed it with a punch and dashed toward Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAcGxXonx1
Before the turrets could turn to June, Danny blasted them with his ghost ray. Free to move, an enraged June punched the glass shell covering Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxl5lPgNA
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx46yIF9nch
June: “GAAAH!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGkuXAtetz
Danny: “June!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEP2wUgIrJ
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLYJOixdu
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h70MKghgP
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7itzladcUo
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ35tl6WRwF
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObyy6uCCrS
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYL9FxgCo2
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXpy3irraE
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxAjtZenrv
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ950Pwk7Jwg
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTGKnkQoYF
Out of one of the walls, a chamber is uncovered. What’s revealed is a pod filled with orange liquid, and suspended within was the real Juniper Lee.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea0DX15mv1
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU8Fm63hmD
Unos: “Yes, and now that you know, what will you do? Join me, and then I’ll destroy the original. We won’t make anymore and won’t wipe your memories. You’ll be the one and only, Juniper Lee.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKgVDbqzuP
Juniper: “I-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsoFwWBt0I
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23uDmH7KEY
Juniper: “Huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRXwOQtAF7
Danny: “It doesn’t matter if you’re the real June or not. You’re still our friend and still a hero. We can figure this out together after kicking this guy’s butt. Don’t take that deal. He’s probably lying to you anyway.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHBNNlHAxS
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rqgz0YWna
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ93xg6Gry
Juniper: “No deal! Until the other June is here, I’m the Te Xuan ze and it’s my job to kick the sorry butt of little freaks like you! So get ready, Unos; I’m turning you into a zero!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3g1nkNZ4j
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA1M5a0yll
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8luchNNiRe
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufCM877WvR
Juniper: “Good idea.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoq4EpyPiJ
Danny flies under the mech and throws June at one leg while he goes for another. Almost at the same time, they destroyed the legs.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAndqg7mqDv
Juniper: “Yeah!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3qOlu0Syp
Unos: “Nice try!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCgYt0i3LY
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNrkVZrXbh
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fk7mdwqLt
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkE9fffAV8
Juniper: “Plan C?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VGhbRRDJH
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMdVMFeGTd
Danny goes intangible and flies up. Planning to snatch Unos right out of the mech, Danny phases through the machine. But the spider saw this coming and electrified the whole mech. Unable to phase back without getting shocked, Danny kept flying until he was in the air.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlzM2RaUKq
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA10B0NHqw
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUSr1HN7CT
June: “GAAH!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScUFyGrhw3
Danny: “On no!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbDPvJMj2J
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MMBfs5Zb0
June: “Ugh, again!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KTW99W5wU
Unos: “I can’t keep the field up forever, but I can turn it on anytime I want. I’m connected to the energy that powers the ship. I can do this for days, can you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxqpYkFpPh
He doesn’t wait for their answer; he unleashes more turrets to fire on their location. Danny flies away while June jumps away. The two twirled and twisted under the saucer, taking any chance to destroy a turret or leg.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHHPsU7NVe
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLf2qX1gQk
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvixvyvoQo
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBXXaUDvpr
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgTRxZE3aM
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuoX5TOb1T
Juniper: “Hurry!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8srlqf5WB
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGybk6JUiJG
Unos: “Are you sure you want to do that? Instead of helping you, she’s more likely to turn on her fake. You’ll be fighting me alone; can you handle that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHscQco0BIr
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Vp9eQMBX
Unos: “Tch.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVHttN2i9T
Unos tries to close the chamber where June is in, but that won’t stop a ghost. Danny phases through the wall and blasts the pod where Juniper is in. He makes sure to catch her before she falls on her face.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgcBgSf0IR
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SAe5LLKJ0
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPhUjUIjie
He lets her go so she can stand on her own. Seeing Juniper now, he has to say that there is little to no difference. He can sense more energy in this June, though.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWso4RhLlTM
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdIHKBk9r4
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwS58oofnG
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCY0CPuI56
Juniper: “Captured? Oh, yeah! Some jokers named Evil Toy Co. I can’t believe I got captured! Well… I guess it’s not the first time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXHv7d0s3x
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DtrPcY8FO
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZOilKyuBE
Danny: “Behind me, but you might see something that… might confuse you. I can explain everything after, right now; we have to take down the spider guy.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScEN8T59eB
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq5FVEhIu0
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyPYnXT2lB
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKAHmjimxn
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXO6dywnUn
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOtqnzDf3H
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB7tAD9ITm
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z5KZFndt2
Unos: “What are you-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnpNlO5Ljn
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK8WT7aJMl
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8u6LisPn7
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZcBThdm5n
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzH6EnLFxE
Danny appears floating above the mech. When they were distracted, the ghost boy dropped off the other Juniper and got into position. Where’s the other Juniper?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpAz9I2mTh
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46VzezRrse
Juniper 2: “What the-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d81XUgahV
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QOto2JENq
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs62wz97YCC
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QcTxmJz9C
The two girls did what was asked and retreated to where the exit tube was. Seeing them safe, Danny inhaled and brought up those feelings he had when he first learned this ability.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIIpd0MzzT
Fear.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDp4Fj9y9T
Then, he unleashed the Ghostly Wail. The immense ghost energy engulfed the mech, cracking glass and crushing its remaining legs. With a boom, the saucer collapses onto the ground.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW9TZrCAhA
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDuuGJkWaa
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628pgruMjU
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNyO8HoGiW
Unos: “N-No!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWW9MigyGw
Juniper 2: “Now!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkrdyzf7YP
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bcmscblr4
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB05rXRhKI
They reached the glass and reared back a heavy blow laced with their full strength. But when they unleashed their attack, it was met with that annoying electric shield. But it was far weaker.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiz5K2L1gM
Pushing past the pain, the two surge even more strength into the attack. More cracks form on the glass; the end has come. With one final battle cry, the glass shattered and the electric shield dropped. But their attack didn’t stop until it met the cheeks of Unos.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5E3WZ9TD
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX41HajnoKt
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC7823M8PH
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQiTbu3Vuo
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGcRPF6FFU
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA97ItqK71T
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGBJFqoeM
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt531pSyoE
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfvd65DPuR
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBma1i751b
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK5ywllTfl
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKtsMxM6tP
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxByKpH1JH
June 1 rolled her eyes and helped the two of them onto more solid ground. Now finally out of danger, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIggVOXCTp
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMXVmiDDKD
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDKdQhEVQK
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOVa1N3c1h
Juniper 1: “Who?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7UnBLmANJ
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgbavsgGBU
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PD6l5PLb2
Juniper 1: “That’s…. a lot to take in. I’m used to different dimensions, but parallel Earths, talking sponges, aliens, and robot spiders… it’s crazy.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uEh5abWcT
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9eQQtS0gB
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRmYyYp5Ph
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWk8vJQfKv
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYy1SXaQOs
Juniper 2: “Look, this is bad enough for me as it is. I don’t want to burden my family and friends with it. So it would be better to not tell them. You should just go.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO2D3EFgWe
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqTj45xL6q
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8f8MO5J6P
Juniper 1: “You’re not some evil clone that needs to be banished. Yeah, it’s freaky that someone made a robot version of me, but it doesn’t mean I hate you or anything.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz9d9TsLx5
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDotoITSvI
Juniper 1: “You’re me; how could you not expect this? If I were in your shoes, I would hate to have to say goodbye to everyone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU52EtqKQG2
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHSvOmQGs8
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cad3DZROC
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTajb5WBZP
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSciJy4j7O
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa6RL7Ib0u
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdw8C4eFK
Juniper 2: “Right.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3DU9AlHop
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhKtqaPEqF
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgXQZXHmqz
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMcx44nzVu
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1zNGYIEgy
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuvcK539v0
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD9ix6VatF
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUT3ExSSu3
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXWWEQ6UDc
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJl9NSE5At
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwRlmPIFM
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m1SzXAp56
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC2cJsKVJr
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ634UGe1Sbv
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoZNEI7LpR
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI7doDtqz1
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhENJyEWBnx
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgSlK5S7hb
Jimmy: “It was the best and easiest way to neutralize Dos. He was only interested in invasion because he likes to strategize. Now that he’s addicted to chess, he won’t invade anyone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDxV1dNjaD
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNA7XdRHQ
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OEfjNRqU
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf58ojb35rC
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPwt5ZC5X
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjkJ0xlOWE
Jimmy: “I have to. But I’ll play you again if you can beat my little brother in a match 5 million times in a row.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHWu9Wu0Ew
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr26YN8w6A
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtlgjvs8g
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON3XNpCSJJ
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXpexO5VTT
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjreHP59FY
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxQHyydOMJ
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ERQaBbMA
Dos: “Great!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljX0rP6ITs
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpmLM5I1l7
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtz1IqMmNs
Jimmy: “Long story short, he’s a robot I created. Not like June though, but he’s still good enough to play with Dos for a long time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI6akuyWrm
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A6ej45xS9
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8LLBFNjsQ
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthgAIrWW7Z
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb89R5MlBX
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhsrCTOpN5
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N4TLMTEJZ
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYxflmkyy
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyytoWLLZeR
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCNaM16HiK
The Junes: “Later.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt9P9Yjung
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPvI0deUKb
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH938ISSHlC
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7x7vG47O
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cu0AIchTg
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0BXS3vT2a
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowfZPFX8iw
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qO4xtkuL
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MbsSYBeTV
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe55fhYxGg5
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTG22XfWaw
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUtmZwFJjf
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LJxt69kH
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpkWt8yOMS
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgi70kAjtM
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9IEv9ZtL5
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVAHzGqVO5
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuScjJYGdg
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHye9wlU4k
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcFssMMkaP
Dos: “In fact, our race is sort of the laughing stock of the galactic community. Most of us are lazy and have no desire to conquer.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLddZMttQhd
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdOQFO4hRg
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKmOCLCgkC
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu7inUPzcz
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvobNayZwF
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuN0NcmMV
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJYHqOYmsB
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyCc6LoNeh
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NApA57Pad
Tres: “We belonged together, no matter the place. It didn’t matter what people said, we were happy the way we were. But he didn’t see that. Now he has to go to galactic prison or something.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuUtKWzAqO
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIRo793ed5
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyr5f54QR
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQQxDwiOYy
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvc0ijeAjF
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lA3z5BTNI
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3kgNfAeGx
When the group got back, they left the spiders to themselves and just watched. Of course, the June situation was explained soon after stepping back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWcqnj2HCG
Everyone was accepting of the situation and befriended both Junes, something June 2 was touched by. However, whether she can stay in Orchid Bay remains to be seen.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGSpjhPFxB
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyio91voJM
Unos: “Untie me!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0OZPqIA4
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tt0Sj2Z5v
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGCuxyWrDs
The two small spiders were on the shoulder of Unos, making sure the webbing held. They might be robots, but they can still produce strong spider silk if needed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhun84Ph3Ev
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45trs0gTLS
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYwtb6a1re
Dos: “As much as I enjoyed the conquest from a strategic point of view, I also would have preferred to continue the war games on the home world.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu4Cxatfvn
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGhuxsmzmw
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRYwsUW3XB
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVug176ineq
Ancilla: “And you do!? You have done nothing but drive us apart. I’m still surprised how much influence you alone had. To think, Dos and Tres weren’t even that into this whole invasion idea.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwqD7REQo0
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlBECo0OpQ
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmf3iX8vbh
Unos: “You would have all the resources you could ever need after we won the glory of conquering Earth. No more sneers from the galactic community either. But now… it’s hopeless. I lost to a bunch of children.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCbLJSiQsF
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPwd7eDr0
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ48UgrPey
Ancilla: “No! The time for fighting is over. If it wasn’t for the wise words of one of those children, I would have dealt with you personally.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6RVg1FWM
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPCslEsFgJ
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvRBBtytm
Unos: “… Never.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Rs8EiacA
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhWk95x2cr
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRm7t9Bfyp
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPgkDNz8M8
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWPAfglvL
Ancilla: “We won’t forget him and won’t leave him behind. But it’s his choice if he wants to be with the rest of us. If not, then there is nothing we can do.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFnvSBgxr9
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93KSxJ5Zb
Lilo: “You know, despite what you did, they still love you. You were just trying to help them, but you did it the wrong way.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PRWVpehMM
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJutHh8TP49
Lilo: “No, they wouldn’t. I don’t like it when Mertle says bad things about me either. But I don’t think I would hurt Nani just to get back at her. And if I did, I would say sorry.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYElx7bLD
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxFgzcsVnO
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQidVBUO6bZ
Unos took a moment to think about what he should do. What path should he take, and what would benefit his family in the end?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xDft9i2vr
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY5fcOHRui
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqMw4ccO0V
Dos: “Same.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlReTE22JO3
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNx6TKWJTb
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhC34wQMs3
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnOXYFpKyI
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfEclxKf55
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy9hJEAUkL
Widow: “You may be the youngest of us, but you were the one who decided to take a stand. You recruited great heroes to bring us all together again. If there was anyone who could keep us together, it’s you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41VgzIg9FI
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDXiwrqkWH
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyyc4E6yDr
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbmgMLFGH
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC8vVjtW0M
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeLqOgvJ54
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoyNJ4I8dT
As for June 2, she wasn’t completely happy with the outcome. But it’s not like she can do much about it. Complaining won’t change her situation. At least Unos wasn’t fully forgiven or in charge anymore.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p1S3Y0d5X
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw8khVoPpo
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoTNbSvBcK
Ancilla: “Yes, I’ll send you all back home. Then we’ll break down this factory and return to the main ship. Afterward, we’ll go back to our home planet.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3xLe3lOBq
Jimmy: “Great! But you don’t need to send us home yourself. I figured out how to make more stable portals of my own. I think I can send everyone home.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7RjX0cKs
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUqeoSUxVJ
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLSuOL2ha
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlHRxdxB2
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLOy9se58u
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPfp9705h
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllgT0ukQrA
“Yeah!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKQjIx5qPo
Jimmy takes a small device and drops it on the ground. A swirling pink energy field is generated afterward. Using another small device, Jimmy types in some coordinates.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvK2vZFF8E
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha1SmlseTd
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJrCEZRrO
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYIRDxfx39
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo7IpY4fo5
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvPggpKVqA
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFrmk1amdQ
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHA7d6e952
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJfsWde1e7
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hKglkMCG
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZErLWqNV5
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIFpgQsOE6
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKxSXgQoGe
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoEZubt0Up
Lilo: “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if you’re a robot. You’re just as real as anyone else, and you’re our friend. We won’t forget you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6M2Nuq9Lb
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tbH965mFY
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn0HqHc83P
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUaSeWO6uo
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIog0rrFL0j
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9EE2sJpwu
Juniper 2: “What?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Kh9nn3qe
Danny: “Based on the little I know about you, magic and all that, I think I know a place you can fit in. A one true place like Lilo says.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9h0nQnoN1
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhyOMVEgBV
Danny: “I hope so. But just in case, I’ll be at the Nasty Burger. Jimmy will leave the portal open and wait for you. Okay?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp1l1sFDH9
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsguqcHaL5
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsyP6qLfMn
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tg1CY6ctP
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4hJzehhE
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhfkbB2pd
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICcyHyPOV
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jHuWOr1sH
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v4rPDoFuc
Juniper 1: “Don’t jinx it. Let’s go home and explain things to Ray Ray and Monroe. You’ll have to sneak in, though.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeUuaITGqb
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO1mledxVn
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yndmafUzx
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64ItWiduw
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKLHnsYTMK
Juniper 2 successfully sneaked into their room while Juniper 1 had to explain her strange absence. Good thing she met Monroe and Ray Ray first; explaining things to their parents would be difficult. Right now, the group was in June’s room.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZxoH2DvBG
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3pONYJyY
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfQeThlVqn
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYD4CRE3mn
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wszDLb2Tq
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUawMB6lfZ
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECDzJGrtni
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mbTRYkFr
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQCZx6iEfz
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u7MLTbBcp
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PL0mgHbO
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRVlh15JtA
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzfJx08blQ
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetKQxj4aU
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXJhdfoBc
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcYAJnRZJ7
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolm6jM02Ym
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7AS5f6OMz
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35fyQqZWM5
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV9pz6iNnN
Monroe: “I don’t know if you noticed, but your mother only has three kids. How do we explain the sudden appearance of another you?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxXlLbWpx
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIYTQWISym
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocADl44Qtt
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A4UdGO8WH
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVs43SqEHG
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhVMR6RvKQ
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvE21B65S
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5GwKkUwO
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqxM0bZQ4
Ah-Ma: “Because it would be nearly impossible to hide you. Worse than that, you’re simply not the Te Xuan Ze. The magic in you is not the same as the… main June.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKov5dVcISH
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk5qa95VTd
The old woman sighs before sitting on the bed and signaling the two girls to sit next to her. She takes both of their hands and notices the difference immediately.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59WYkFZ4oM
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pkp6HsSBf
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp559Gqc2AD
Ah-Ma: “Because she’s not a perfect copy. The magic of the Te Xuan Ze, of the Elders, is not easily copied. She’s slightly weaker than you, and I don’t think she’ll be as good at magic either.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqPj16k335
Juniper 2: “No way…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsXVFNleNx
Monroe: “It gets worse. You don’t think demons wouldn’t take notice of those minor, but still noticeable, differences? What do you think will happen when they realize something is wrong?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHYsWS2wrD
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD36GzFk81H
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGOGtDq1oa
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFStypVpG8
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IsW6T8rZ4
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrayXeIZT6
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLjycBeKJ
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLKmujKaQi
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fRVoYPIiU
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO39ZbYd9Qi
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHgTgWWkPO
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQi3jQ4Rg
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcVkSUSKh
Juniper 2: “Yeah… but if you don’t mind… can I say goodbye to everyone? When it comes to my friends, I just want to hang out with them one more time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgccu1oRumA
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPlIp3Rcg
So that’s what she did. To not waste time or worry anyone else, they didn’t explain the situation to Lila or Dennis. June 2 just hung out with them for a bit before telling her she had something to do.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxBxXOlqNb
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfmBSHRrxb
Then she hung out with her family. They were even more oblivious, but June 2 took what she could get. She hugged them, and told them how much she loved them. It confused them, but they accepted it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIUVsXD6Sn
Finally, she spent time with her school friends. Jody could also tell something was wrong. She wondered if it was about what she still hadn’t questioned her friend about. Yeah, the fact she saw her jumping buildings.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rIqnHofz
But not having the bravery to confront her yet, Jody says nothing. Instead, the friends just spent some quality time before Juniper knew it was time to go.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tNLN8jIWz
All the while, June 1 got a taste of what June 2 would have had to deal with. She couldn’t be at home or anywhere her friends might be. Ray Ray and Monroe were with her, but she knew her twin would not have that luxury.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqYaVwllxg
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fCOVrLpZc
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUe6PxUK9x
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U1tBdLDKB
Juniper 1: “Well… try to look at the bright side; you can leave Orchid Bay. Maybe you can even become an astronaut for both of us.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs9y4wqDpB
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKVRqJR5dw
In truth, that is a great bright side to this. She hated the fact she was bound here until the next Te Xuan Ze was chosen. But the cost was heavy.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdVxupmtua
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiw6USHsuz
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArpaM7DE2F
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhdAnX0Ipf
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs3Q5jk1Zg
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡephYVXzUCy
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplOnIcS0Kd
She says as she pats his head.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuPtoWOGnm
Ah-Ma was the last one to say goodbye. She hasn’t known this Juniper long, but she is too much like her granddaughter to not care about. She will see her again, but she knows this June will be alone for a good amount of time.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImXi1owaV
She’s only 11 years old, it truly isn’t fair. The best she can do for her now is give her a warm hug and send her away with a book bag full of supplies.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9l91plfmu
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2MTvBmcxQ
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXITVZJPFN
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmtYT9GZXI
After that, June 2 waved them goodbye, not knowing when she’d see them again. Stepping through the portal, a flash of light later, June saw Jimmy already waiting.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIiu1vShO0
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARroRhyhM6
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeZZN0NB75
Not wanting to dwell on it too long, Jimmy changed the coordinates for the portal. After she was gone, Jimmy would take Dos to Brobot and then relax in his lab.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRueTWiUHM
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxayyFaZl7v
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwQBMZNll8
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6e05ziWTb
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJrgm1W10
Danny: “Don’t worry, she’s a hero too. She’s even more famous than me. I’ll also call ahead for you so my friend knows who you are.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IPB81NToA
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4nKPn0lYZ
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhOhbTmc05
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuF9ofkeue
He was sure. Not even an hour later, a ride was ready to pick her up and fly her to New York. That’s right, fly her. In a small plane! Who’s this friend Danny knows that can do something so impossible!?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEG6tQf3Y
Regardless, it didn’t take long for June to arrive in New York City. As soon as they touched down, she said her thanks and exited the plane.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFiDceBFx0
On the way to her destination, she felt it. There was magic in the city. It felt familiar but different. That’s when the situation really hit here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwITT2JoJrn
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz8WLR6bR5
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGqEoLcgtw
She had no friends here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu4d2OrXlW
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOaXzhoCAB
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s4vSeFNTv
She was… alone.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUeyooKkXL
It took all she had not to finally break down. She tried her best to be strong in front of her friends and family, but it was a mask.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqd09WJ6rU
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMRrVv3L2
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DRmFlL5JV
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNgqUA9131
She violently shakes her head. That wouldn’t be right. Her other self doesn’t deserve that. But that doesn’t stop her from feeling the pain of abandonment.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ukO4KdCyk
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7j3DjrRkG
That’s when she remembered the one upside to this situation: she was free. She had no responsibilities and could go anywhere she wanted. She could be an astronaut if she wanted.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86s4qLTJUm
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxZqdiZimm
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCfw0G4eoC
Juniper: “Yeah, this won’t be so bad. It’s fine. Besides, I can still visit. It’s not goodbye forever. I can see everyone again.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2JGgibYhz
With that in mind, she picks up the pace to her destination. Eventually, she made it to some worn-down-looking shop called Canal Street Electronics.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitS4j4IFVn
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg49QczBPdq
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIcE6NIlmM
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

To Be Continued

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlomf5BnX1d
A/N: Thanks for reading, and expect more from the Legacy Multiverse if life allows. Don’t expect the next story to be the sequel to this one. There are many episodes and events to cover, and they don’t all revolve around June.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5PYqjp0Y6
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczGStVj2ds
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaqvGMJMWv
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdt1M0u5q
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrRwD8BRUe
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltdtffKcXv
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBnjp1CyhE
- Allows me to explore a common motif in these shows more deeply. Almost every single series in this multiverse had a clone/evil self episode. Now that common idea can have a purpose that’s explored with some depth through June 2.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9reVIeurRq
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
